RUSH: I am very happy to welcome to the program Jenny Ballantine from Durham, New Hampshire. She's a student at the University of New Hampshire. Jenny, hi.JENNY BALLANTINE: Hi.RUSH: I can't tell you how excited I am that you agreed to do this. This is something I've been looking forward to ever since I heard an edited version of your question to Senator Edwards yesterday. Let me ask you a question first off. Are you nervous?JENNY BALLANTINE: A little, yes.RUSH: Don't be nervous. Don't...

RUSH:As mentioned and as promised, we welcome back to the EIB Microphone -- it's always a great privilege to have the vice president, Dick Cheney, with us.Mr. Vice President, welcome once again to our program.THE VICE PRESIDENT:Well, thank you, Rush. It's good to be back on.RUSH:I can imagine.Now, let's start talking about the supplemental funding bill for Iraq.I have to tell you something that I heard last night as I'm watching some of the cable news network shows. Some of the Democrats...

RUSH: Brian in Traverse City, Michigan, welcome to the EIB Network.CALLER: Thank you, sir. You said a little bit ago that you always say there's good in all things, and so I'm wondering, what is the good from that perspective in liberalism, in Democrats, and in Al-Qaeda, and if there is good in all things, how can you ever say, then, that anything is ever evil?RUSH: Now, you're distorting this. I'm talking about in personal circumstances that people encounter in life, there is good. Things that...

RUSH: Yesterday we told you about the Edwards website. If you go to the John Edwards for president website, you get an opportunity there to send a sympathy card to Elizabeth Edwards, and if you did, you were put on an e-mail list where you then received solicitations from the Edwards campaign. (interruption) What are you laughing at in there now? You got some caller on the phone you're trying to polite to? All right. It must be one of those days in there. Well, what's happened now is that, since...

RUSH: This is Ephraim in Manhattan. Welcome to the EIB Network. It's nice to have you with us.CALLER: Hi, Rush, it's an honor. I am a Rush Baby who was actually promoted to a White House internship last semester, in the fall of 2006. I'm 21 years old, and I started listening to you with my dad when I was two years old when David Dawson introduced you in New York. I'm from a bastion of liberalism from the West Side, and I just wanted to just really thank you for always being an inspiration for...

RUSH: Here's Carl in Tampa. Tampa is a city that we own. Welcome to the EIB Network, Carl. It's great to have you.CALLER: Hello, Rush, mega dittos.RUSH: Thank you, sir.CALLER: I'd like to get you to listen to something to think about. I don't think this Nancy Pelosi thing is against Bush, but I think she's more trying to establish her power base before Hillary gets elected.RUSH: Well, I don't know if that's true, but you raise a great, great point, and I will tell you this. Hillary Clinton...

RUSH: This is Sam at O'Hare International Airport, Chicago, nice to have you on the program, sir.CALLER: Limo ditto drivers to you, Rush.RUSH: Thank you.CALLER: Before I get to my point you made my day, I was listening to all of your ads, you know, and waiting for you, and I think that the Pelosi could probably get a job as a baggage handler management person.RUSH: (Laughing.) She might be qualified for that, yeah.CALLER: The question that I have, I'm independent and to be honest with you...

RUSH: Jeff in Chicago, nice to have you with us, sir.CALLER: Rush, it is an honor.RUSH: Thank you, sir.CALLER: Does Nancy Pelosi not understand what the Constitution specifically defines as her role as an elected official?RUSH: She totally understands it.CALLER: She is in the legislative branch, not the executive, and a lot of things that she is beginning to do encroaches upon the executive branch.RUSH: Well... (sigh)CALLER: But my main question is this though. She is almost like her own...

RUSH: Back to Tampa, Florida, Mike, welcome to the EIB Network and Open Line Friday on Thursday, hello.CALLER: Hey, Rush. You are the basis of my sanity and you are my hero.RUSH: Well, thank you, sir.CALLER: My question for you is, I know that with your hearing problem, you cannot hear new music, but you tend to gravitate to the old music that you heard, I guess, prior to the hearing loss. My question is, how do you handle the parodies? Can you hear them well, or is it difficult?RUSH: Most...

RUSH: Barbara in St. Louis, I'm glad you called. Welcome to the EIB Network. Hello.CALLER: Hello, Rush.RUSH: Hi.CALLER: I just heard Vice President Cheney, who is a hero of mine. I just feel so helpless about Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, whose biggest thing in life is doing these land deals. Are they as stupid as they sound?RUSH: No. They're not. CALLER: (chuckles)RUSH: No, no, no, no. They are not. Well, Pelosi... Look, this is a tough question. They're liberals first. Whatever their...

RUSH: The big news today, I guess (there's so much of it) is Nancy Pelosi, the speaker of the House. Let me take you back to what I said yesterday on this program. This was tough to say, folks, as I mentioned leading into this comment.RUSH ARCHIVE: I don't think that she is blessed with a tremendous IQ. I don't think this is the brightest bulb, incandescent or compact fluorescent, in the socket. I don't think that the elevator goes all the way to the top. She is an order of French fries short...

RUSH: We have started a new feature at RushLimbaugh.com called "Rush in a Hurry," and the Rush in a Hurry is a little tease, a little tidbit, a little e-mail that you get from us detailing what's coming up in detail as the website is updated around six p.m. Eastern Time to reflect the contents of the day's program. What were doing is we are giving away at random eight, 80-gig video iPods engraved with my signature, one a week for eight weeks. We've given away two of them so far. (interruption)...
